Lawyer Winslow Warren (b 1838, Plymouth) had multiple 9 Mayflower lines: Winslow (twice), Alden-Mullins, Brewster, Doty, Howland-Tilley, Warren, and White. (See the other sections for those lines.) Both of his Gen 8 Winslow lines are paternal. One runs: Winslow Warren, Mary (Winslow) Warren, Pelham, John, Isaac, Josiah, Edward Winslow of the Mayflower. A second runs: Winslow Warren, Henry, James, Penelope (Winslow) Warren, Isaac, Josiah, Edward Winslow. A combination of the relevant silver books will get you to this Winslow Warren's grandparents, then vital records on the NEHGS get you the rest of the way.

Watson, Elkanah

Son of Elkanah Watson and Patience Marston, a Generation 5 Edward Winslow descendant whose husband and children are listed in the Winslow Silver Book, this Generation 6 Elkanah was born in 1758 and died 1842. The accoutrements in this illustration, i.e. the eyeglasses pushed up on his forehead, the suit and hat, the document in his hand, the pipe, are intended to show him as a thoughtful, intellectual (yet practical) man of accomplishment and sagacity. He contributed to the American effort in the Revolutionary War, studied under John Brown (of Brown University fame), knew Benjamin Franklin (to which the Franklin spectacles allude), met George Washington, and was standing near the throne when George III read his speech declaring the colonies to be free. He studied the science of agriculture and wrote on the topic. His Winslow line runs: Patience (Marston) Watson, Elizabeth (Winslow) Marston, Isaac Winslow, Josiah, Edward of the Mayflower. Image and information from William R. Deane, A Biographical Sketch of Elkanah Watson, Founder of Agricultural Societies in America, and the Projector of Canal Communication in New York State, with a Brief Genealogy of the Watson Family, Early Settled in Plymouth Colony (Albany: Munsell, 1864), frontispiece, digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

WINSLOW, EDWARD JR.

Father of John F. W. Winslow, below, Edward was a Gen. 5 Winslow and Howland-Tilley. (See that section for the lineage.) The caption for this drawing reads: "From a portrait by Lequa, of Canton, in possession of Edward Pelham Winslow" but is undated. You can read about Edward in the Winslow silver book and in the book from which this image was taken. He was born in Plymouth in 1746, probably in the beautiful house that is today headquarters of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. (Click on "Mayflower Society House" and take a virtual tour.) He and his father, both Harvard-educated lawyers, were Loyalists during the Revolution and the younger Edward served in the British army and was officially banished 1778. He later moved to Nova Scotia, then settled in New Brunswick, his father Edward dying in NS, his mother Hannah (Howland) (Dyer) Winslow dying in NB. His Winslow line runs: Edward, Isaac, Josiah, Edward & Susanna. The silver book notes 5 of Edward Jr.'s 13 children marrying, so there may still be descendants in NB. He died there, intestate, in 1815. Image and some info from W. O. Raymond, ed. Winslow Papers, Vol. 2 (St. John: NB Historical Society, 1901), pp. 7-9, 705, digitized by me.

WINSLOW, ELIZABETH

The original of her painting and those of Isaac and John were at the Massachusetts Historical Society in Boston as of 1915. No date or artist's name was provided in the book from which this scanned image comes. Presumably they are on display somewhere and you can get a better glimpse of her likeness in person. Elizabeth (1769-1864) is a Gen. 6 Winslow and Gen. 7 Warren descendant. She and her husband, Kilborn Whitman, are noted in the Winslow silver book and her father's birth is in the Warren book Part 2. Her Winslow line runs: (Dr.) Isaac Winslow, John, Isaac, Josiah, Edward Winslow of the Mayflower. Image & some info from Mary Whitman Bryant, Genealogy of Edward Winslow of the Mayflower and his Descendants from 1620 to 1865 (New Bedford: Anthony, 1915), pp. 91, 133, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Public Library. Note: the page numbers for the illustrations in this book are all approximate.

WINSLOW, ISAAC

This Gen 5 descendant is also in the Winslow silver book, which is volume 5. Isaac (1739-1819) was the father of Elizabeth, above, and I apologize that the image is a digitization of a reprint of a painting and none of those processes appears to have been well executed. He may be wearing a wig, too. See Elizabeth's writeup for the lineage. The author of the book from which this image was taken said that the painting was by "Johnson" and is "now" (1915) in the MA Historical Society. He was also a Gen. 6 Warren descendant; see that section for the lineage. Image & a little info from Mary Whitman Bryant, Genealogy of Edward Winslow of the Mayflower and his Descendants from 1620 to 1865 (New Bedford: Anthony, 1915), pp. 88, 91, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Public Library. Note: the page numbers for the illustrations in this book are all approximate.

WINSLOW, JOHN

Father of the Isaac above and grandfather of Elizabeth, Gov. John Winslow (1703-1774) was a Gen. 4 descendant of pilgrim Edward Winslow (Isaac, Josiah, Edward) but it was his first wife who passed on the Warren genes his children possessed. The author of the book that printed the image to the left (now digitized) said that the painter was John Singleton Copley, perhaps better known for his painting of Paul Revere. The original is said to be at the MA Historical Society along with the other Winslow paintings. It was presumably painted from life since Copley lived 1738-1815 and worked in the Boston area. The paintings at Pilgrim Hall of Edward and his son Josiah, and those reprinted in this book do show one commonality, at least among the males - the nose. Check it out on wikipedia. Gen. John Winslow was the brother of Elkanah Watson's grandmother (above.) Image from Mary Whitman Bryant, Genealogy of Edward Winslow of the Mayflower and his Descendants from 1620 to 1865 (New Bedford: Anthony, 1915), p. 34, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Public Library. Note: the page numbers for the illustrations in this book are all approximate.

WINSLOW, JOHN FRANCIS WENTWORTH

Son of Edward, Jr., above, and named for his godfather, family friend (and governor of Nova Scotia) Sir John Wentworth, he was described by the author of the book from which this image was taken as "precocious" because at age 9 or 10 he was already acting occasionally as his father's secretary. He became a military officer at age 14 and went on to a career in law and public service in New Brunswick. Born there in 1793, he died there at age 66, and my guess is that this image was made in the last decade of his life, or at least no younger than age 39. The caption notes that he was High Sheriff of Carleton Co, NB and the text states that he held that position from 1832 to 1856, then was reappointed in 1857 for a short time. He died in 1859. He and Warren Winslow, top of the page, are the only two Winslows whose real hair we can see. Working backwards, Sheriff John's Gen. 6 birth (and marriage) are in the Winslow silver book. His line would run: Edward Winslow, Edward, Isaac, Josiah, Edward Winslow and 2) Susannah (---) (White) Winslow of the Mayflower. Note: Susannah was also the mother of the surviving White children, ancestors of those you see on in the White section, thus making the Whites and Winslows half siblings and their descendants relatives. See his Howland-Tilley writeup for that lineage. Image & info from W. O. Raymond, ed. Winslow Papers, Vol. 2 (St. John: NB Historical Society, 1901), pp. 5, 9-10, 646, digitized by me.
